Galaxy Jaarbeurs

jaarbeurs utrecht builds New entrance and galaxy

Jaarbeurs Utrecht is taking its first steps in
building a new Entrance in collaboration with Liong Lie architects.

With the development of a wonderful new space, named
the Galaxy and a new Entrance, the Jaarbeurs gets an innovative and
contemporary appearance.

With the aim to create a sustainable society Liong Lie
architects believe in creating unique places. Places that have an attractive
force on people, places that deliver memorable experiences and create a big
social and economical boost.

The
Galaxy is a space suited for conventions, dinner parties
and other events. It is directed towards the renewed West station area by means
of a huge panorama window.

Underneath
the Galaxy the new Entrance East is situated: a spacious entrance hall that
gives access to the halls on the ground floor and the conference rooms – including
Media Plaza (1st phase designed by Sander architecten, 2nd
phase by Liong Lie Architects) - on the first floor. The Entrance serves as a
central welcoming reception area with all facilities needed for a warm
reception and an efficient people flow to guide visitors to their destinations.
The entrance is part of the main connecting route, the Centrumboulevard.

Construction
is planned to start in 2013, and will take place solely on Jaarbeurs Utrecht
property. During construction, events like fairs, conferences and business meetings
will continue to take place. The application for a building permit has been
submitted. Soon the construction documents phase will start.
